Taking Care of Your OmniBook
Protect your OmniBook from damage
Observe the temperature limits and other specifications listed in “Hardware
Specifications” on page 126. Do not use the OmniBook outside in the rain or snow
(inclement weather).
Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the OmniBook. Suspend or shut down
the OmniBook before putting it in a carrying case or other enclosed space.
Do not pick up or carry the OmniBook by the display.
You can clean the OmniBook with a soft cloth dampened either in clean water or in
water containing a mild detergent. Do not use an excessively wet cloth nor allow
water inside the case. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, especially on the display. Do
not apply any cleaner directly to the display. Instead, apply the cleaner to a soft cloth
and then gently wipe the display. You can clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner
to remove accumulated dust.
Protect your hard disk drive from damage
Avoid bumps or jolts.
Suspend or shut down the OmniBook before transporting it. This turns off the hard
drive. A drop of a few inches onto a rigid surface while the hard drive is operating
could cause loss of data or damage to the drive.
Carry the OmniBook in a padded case to protect against bumps and jolts.
Set down the OmniBook gently. Take precautions against accidental bumps.
Do not operate the OmniBook while traveling over bumpy terrain.
Protect your work
Back up your work regularly. Copy files to floppy, tape, or network drives.
Use a virus scanning program, preferably one that will run automatically, to check the
integrity of your files and operating system on a periodic basis. See “To install the
VirusScan utility” on page 94.
Periodically check your hard disk using standard Windows disk-maintenance utilities.
